Excerpt from John Macgregor: Rob Roy My object throughout the following pages has been to draw a true portrait of a Man who exercised a wide and still-spreading influence by his courage, per severance, reverence, and buoyant hopefulness; whose character may be summed up in one word - Manli ness, in the fullest, freest sense - physical, moral, and spiritual. Wherever possible I have left him to speak for himself, quoting freely from his diaries, correspondence, and writings.
